    Hellooooooo, haven't caught up AT ALL so I hope everyone's well?

    Four INs to report from the YSL glitch....

    2 x YSL Touche Eclat Shade 1
    YSL Pure Colour Lipstick - Shade 1
    YSL Pure Colour Lipstick - Shade 39


    The shade 1 on the boots page is not the 'shade 1' I got, but it is a nice colour so no loss there!

    Total paid £20 :D:D:D

    I am calling day 4 of my challenge complete as I have no plans to go anywhere now (have spent the day doing outdoor jobs on the house). Roguey how are you getting on with it?

    I call a re-match. I'm going to the L'Occitane girls night out tomorrow (again. Free champagne gets me every time) and I will need to buy shampoo and conditioner this month. My plan is to re-start my 100 days challenge any day before the 22nd as 100 days will then take me neatly up to my birthday. In the meantime, I'm cheating for a l'occ goodie bag :o:o

    I thought about doing the 100 day challenge but decided against it as since my income went into freefall last Sept, I've basically been doing it anyway.
    Now that my income has improved a little, I would really miss the little treats I have.
    None are extravagant, today it was a Yours magazine and a RTD A!di chilled coffee.
    I love to have an RTD coffee on completing shopping, to pep me up for the return trike ride home. Especially as all rides home for the last month and a bit have been into the teeth of a bitter Easterly wind.
    Resisted the toiletries in A!di again, though looking forward to trying the hair colour I bought there a while ago.

    Ah, thanks much :) I do something similar with clicksresearch, but that's all blind testing, it sounds intriguing, so I might look into it!
    OMG had forgotten about Click,i used to do it but have not heard from them for ages:(

    Have a couple of uu

    Dr Organic Rose Otto lotion - this is a very nice cream really but has a very strong rose scent which is all natural though. It rubs in easily and absorbs quickly so I WBA in a different scent.

    nSPA hand and nail cream - this came as part of a 4 item set and I didn't like it, it went on nicely but when it dried it flaked off my hands, I ended up using it as foot cream under socks so that didn't matter. I have had two 4 item sets from nspa now and have only liked one item, if they are using these products in their spas I wouldn't like to visit them. I have a shower mousse from them to use which was a freebie and I don't expect much from it.

    AND - I totally understand your reasoning for not taking part in the 100 day challenge, I have been overspending on things and need to break that trend, I am trying to pay off credit card debts so we can save for a holiday abroad next year (I can't believe how much these have gone up since the last time I went) and can't do that if I keep adding to them. It is going to be tough for me though.

    I like Natio Daily Protection Face Moisturiser. It has SPF 15, and you can get it in Debenhams or at lookfantastic.com, both of which have free delivery, or sometimes they're on eBay.

    Ooooh thank you... I shall look into this! I am using Embryolisse Lait Creme at the moment which has a thick consistency... looking for something nice and gooey...:D

    I have booked a facial for myself for tomorrow, the first in over 2.1/2 years, as mentioned before I have moved to a new area and am finding it difficult to choose where to go, I did rule out a couple when I had manicures, one was not very clean and the second the therapist nicked my finger and the manicure chipped after 18 hours, so this I week I decided to stop pondering about it and just make an appointment, wish me luck!
    I could not make up my mind from the tarriff list which of the types of facial I needed, so have booked a 1 hour appointment and will trust the therapist to know her stuff:eek:
